In the list as it stands, I find in Tenebno only molitor L. (no 

 obscurus); in Bruchus only flavimanus Boh. Possibly some of 

 the very common species were not preserved. In Cerambycidce 

 I find only five species: CaUidiuni alni L., C. vanabile L., Gracilia 

 lii/</mcea F., Mol<>r<-hnx minor L., Acanthocinus cedilis L., Chrys- 

 onicla is represented only by polita L., a species common around 

 London (Lsleworth, Bedford Park, Hendon). There are only 

 four Hi*t< rnl<i<: H i*t<-r ctn/tirtTinns Hoff., H. purpurascens Herbst., 

 Siipr/nttx (t'ttcus F., Dendrophilus punctatus Herbst. The only 

 Dytiscidce are Hydroporux pubescens Gyll., H. palustris L., Aga-

-Mr. Sclnvarz said that he believed there is a list of the insects 

 of Paris. He also remembered that many years ago the Entomo- 

 logical Society of Berlin brought together a list of the insects found 

 in the city of Berlin. The number of insects found in the city of 

 \Vu>hington, D. C., is immensely greater than that found in most 

 other cities, a fact which is easily explained by the large number of 

 squares and parks. There should be an unpublished list of the 

 insects found on the Smithsonian grounds present in the old files 

 of the Division of Entomology. In this connection he mentioned a 

 curious fact namely, that there is at the corner of 12th and D 

 Streets an ash tree which thirty-five years ago was badly infested 

 with a Lepidopterous borer, Agalia polistiformis, and on which 

 two predaceous Elaterid beetles, Chalcolepidius viridipilis and 

 Hemirhipus fascicularis were always to be found. Today the same 

 tree is still living and harbors the same insects. 



Dr. Hopkins mentioned the large number of species of forest 

 insects, injurious, beneficial, and neutral, which were attracted by
